$2-bn bets placed on Trump announcements in time it takes for bathroom breaks: US analyst
short by Ashley Paul / on Friday, 24 April, 2026
US-based analyst Peter Girnus claimed $2.1-billion bets were placed about 47-15 minutes before Donald Trump made major announcements, raising insider trading concerns. "[Bets] were placed in a window so narrow, you could measure it in bathroom breaks," Girnus said. Noting regulatory incompetence in US, he said a law against insider trading, signed in 2012, hasn't been enforced even once yet.
